I am not sure how much this topic has been discussed before but since I will be doing a Do-It-Yourself (DITY for you military types ) move for my Navy move, I had to get the car weighed empty.

In any event, the car tipped the scales at 2600 lbs. That is with a 1/4 tank of gas. My MCS is a base model with no factory or dealer installed options. The manual says 2678 so if you were to have a full tank of gas that sounds about right. Anyway, just FYI.

Thanks for the info. Always thought the weight listed was "unladen", ie: no fluids, but I may be wrong.

"Curb" weight would be ready to go. But how much fuel in it?

Regards,

The manual says the car has a 13 gal tank. That means 1/4 tank is 3.25 gallons. Using 7 lb per gallon as an assumption for gas weight, that is 22.75 lbs of gas.
